Black-and-white
as a description may be considered a misnomer in that the images are
not ordinarily starkly contrasted black and white but combine black and
white in a continuum producing a range of shades of gray . Further, many
prints, especially those produced earlier in the development of
photography, were in sepia (mainly for archival stability), which
yielded richer, more subtle shading than reproductions in plain
black-and-white. Color photography provides a much greater range of
shade, but part of the appeal of black and white photography is its more
subdued monochromatic character.

I have been thinking about doing a Monochromatic Series for awhile so this will be the first

painting for this series. Many years ago all I did was black and white but used charcoal and inks.

Really
is a lot more fun in oils. There is just something about the extreme
dark and light with all the shades of gray in between that is striking.

My diversity has enabled me to survive as an artist for over a half century. Most artists stay with a style that reflects their inner personality. I believe that an artist should be like an actor who plays many roles and who subjugates themselves to the role at hand, letting it tell them how to play it. A chinese artist once said, " to paint a flower you must "be" a flower, to paint a tiger, you must be a tiger. "Madison"
